At the end of every month comes another of the great monthly 7" series of Konishi Yasuharu's all-time DJ classics! This is the tenth installment of "Readymade mirai no ongaku" (aka "Readymade Oldays"). (Find all details in the first post.)
Konishi picks two covers where USA meets UK. The A-side is a cover of Tom Jones' hit song "it's not unusual" performed in a jazzy style by American singer Nick Palmer, and on the slipside a cover of Cole Porter's "I've got you under my skin" performed by the then UK-based singer Frank Ifield. These songs were originally released in 1967 and 1964 respectively, and both are available for the first time ever on 7".
